I believe the vast majority of folk still prefer a traditional relationship, a one-on-one type of deal. But there are others who pine for and are engaged in open relationships.
The cast of "Venus Meets Mars" that aired on the "Taylor Love Show" shared their views on the topic and it was quite interesting. For the deets, you'll have to wait for the book....
An open relationship is an interpersonal relationship where the parties want to be together but agree to be non-monogamous. But what does that really mean? Does it mean flirting, sex, emotional attachment? All parties involved must sit down and decide what works best for them.
Also, they must be honest. Will they divulge their outside relationships in detail. Do both parties want to know what happened and with whom?
I'll define and share a few open relationship types and you tell me "Could You Be In An Open Relationship?"
There
are several different styles of open relationships like:
- Polyamory - A person who has more than one intimate relationship at a time with the consent and knowledge of all involved. I liken this more to cult behavior, but that’s just my opinion.
- Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell - I think this is most common, also known as cheating. This is where each partner does their own thing without consulting or the knowledge of the other to some degree. Hell you might be in a “Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell” relationship right now and “Don’t” know it.
- Swinging - A lifestyle where you and your partner are committed to each other but engage in sexual activities at the same time with other people.
